To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUDoLF GELDMAOHER, a subject of the German Emperor,and resident of Cologne-on-the-Rhine, Germany, have invented an ImprovedWater-Tight Sack of Strong Craped, Pressed, or Goflered Paper, of whichthe following is a specification.

Cement, chalk and the like have hitherto been packed in barrels or jutesacks, but also paper sacks of smooth but strong paper have been used.The great specific weight of the material has raised the question forthe use of strong paper sacks.

The present invention relates to a sack constructed of paper which iselastic in every direction being thus an untearable sack. In theaccompanying drawing is shown such a sack.

Figure 1 shows an elevation. Fig. 3 are details.

The strong craped or goflered paper used for this purpose is so elasticin a horizontal direction, that by the opening due to the yielding ofthe paper sack, a tearing is avoided. This effect is attained by themeans shown in Fig. 2 at two or more laces on the Fig. 2 and sack whichalso produces the e ect in a ver- I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is A sack, comprising in combination, a sack constructedof strong paper, plaits in the sack, bands for adjusting the height ofthe plaits, the ends of the bands adapted for clos ing the sack,substantially as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand inthe presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

RUDOLFI GELDMAOHER.
